killing yourself

>boiled meat
Depends on your regionality.
The Indian/western approach:
Put pot on overturn, flash-brown borderline frozen beef chuck steaks(34 degree f/1 degree c), turn stove to medium/low, use leftover oil to stir fry some onions until softened, add spice mix (curry masala if you're Indian, chili powder if you're white, add chilli pepper powder to both, don't be afraid of overdosing), as soon as you start getting aroma (i.e. not burnt) add in tomato paste and water until it flows well (doesn't get stuck on bottom and burn), salt, msg, garlic and ginger, meat back in, fill with water, stir again to make sure nothing thickens on bottom, keep blow hard boil until well done, add beer/vinegar, boil until texture is soft (Kenji has a good demo in his con carne video on target softness)

This is all you need
I buy boneless chuck short ribs (USDA choice) at costco, great price for choice.
Its easy and always really fucking good.

Adus beetus.

There’s nothing better than being home on a snowy cold winters day and eating some beef stew. I always loved my mothers recipe.

smoked paprika is goated for stews

That doesn't look quite right, it has too much of a sheen like it's been under a heat lamp for way long or it's one of those fake plastic foods as seen in the windows of asian grocery stores.

the humble cazuela

What's that yellow stuff on the lower right in the bowl? It doesn't look like corn.

>>19026876
If it's from the NY Times can it be ignored since it's all about politics and bullshit, they likely haven't had a real news story since the 1980s.

>>19027113
it's indeed corn, still on the cob (not the whole thing, something like a fifth of a cob) and with big ass kernels
corn, potato, pumpkin and meat are the four main ingredients. it can be several different meats, in this case ossobuco but most people use beef or a chicken/turkey leg

>>19027120
That's what threw me off, those are bigger corn kernals that I'm used to seeing.

>>19027136
yeah south american corn kernels are massive
look at this peruvian one, it's roasted corn, shit looks like cockroaches
delicious though

>>19026833
Steak and ale is godly. Also dumplings are incredibly nice (but you need to be able to get suet, not sure how available that is in the US)

Wanna see some big kernels? Stay the night at my mother-in-law's.

>>19027098

I have kjötsúpa almost every day. You can find recipes online, but here's mine:

Ingredients:
>3 lb lamb leg
>12 oz carrots
>12 oz potatoes (red, preferably)
>one medium green cabbage (last one I weighed was about 900g, but you can just add/remove broth to compensate for size difference)
>8 cups of broth (I use two cartons of chicken stock from Costco, but technically it's supposed to be made with lamb broth)
>a few cloves of garlic
>an onion
>some white vinegar
>lamb islandia spice blend (can substitute thyme and oregano, close enough)
>red pepper flakes, MSG, pepper, salt
>a bit of olive oil
Proportions and exact ingredients are up to either you or your grandma. Mine uses cauliflower and rice as well, with less spices, and some insist that oats are the way to go, but I can't be bothered. I changed a few ingredients for preference and ease of access outside the old country (spices, broth). And my proportions are more meat-heavy.

Recipe:
>salt meat up to a day ahead of time
>slice onion, macerate in a small amount of white vinegar while chopping other stuff
>mince garlic, dice meat, chop carrots/potatoes/cabbage
>large pot, medium-high heat, add oil
>saute garlic briefly (don't brown)
>Sear meat cubes to taste (more sear more better in my opinion)
>add in onion, cook for a couple of minutes
>add the rest of the ingredients (I honestly just eyeball the spices) and mix well
>bring to boil, then simmer until potatoes are cooked through, skimming off any foam that appears and stirring occasionally
>add more spices, salt, or vinegar to taste while simmering
Wa la

Sounds delicious. Too bad lamb here is pretty expensive.

>>19027113
as a south american i can assure you there is nothing more like corn that that, thats a regular size slice of mazorca.

>>19032467
Damn, that's nice. Thank you for sharing.

Japanese curry is one of my standards for lazy days. It uses stuff you'll always have around (onions, carrots, potatoes) and if you don't have fresh meat then SPAM works just fine. Go check the import aisle at your local grocery store and you'll likely find some spice mixes, Vermont is the most common where I am.

>>19029886
looks like that takes a lot of tyme.

>>19033541
Not really. Maybe 3 thymes more than your usual beef stew. Especially compared to something like Japanese curry which takes like no thyme at all

>>19026833
If you know how to make a GOOD potato stew, you can do everything...
